It would be an example of yet another unsuitable food based on the ingredients,which include wheat and vague ingredients("animal" proteins and "animal" fats along with "antioxidants" which considering Royal Canin isn't above using unsafe ones is a very bad thing,even if it would be bad regardless of brand).In general Royal Canin is a brand to avoid anyways
Do keep in mind that foods can claim to be hypoallergenic but be the complete opposite!In general the main things to avoid would be wheat and corn(and relatives as mentioned previously,or products of such)so a grain free diet isn't completely necessary for every dog.While it's good in theory,there's no reason why foods with more digestible grains can't be used.Or,you could have a rotational diet(the best type of diet tbh for numerous reasons)with grain free and more dog friendly grain foods!
Personally looking at the Lily's Kitchen dry food it doesn't look as good as their wet food(seems like raw meats rather than meals which for previous reasons mentioned isn't great,plus they seem to be against any form of meat meal which is a bit silly as if from a named source it can be quite good).Wet food is still very important for dogs though,so the brand is not without use!
One really interesting brand from Zooplus would be Purizon.They seem to have pretty good dry food from what I've seen,although a very interesting part of this particular brand is that unlike many foods they use dried meats.They all seem to meet the calcium to phosphorus requirements too!
I forgot to mention another tip!Dogs transitioning from low quality diets often have upset stomachs as a result of the poor diet,hence why sometimes a food might seem too rich but in reality it could've just been an unstable digestive system that once again needs some support and time to adjust to appropriate foods.
